Dad fished the big waves
and the babbling brooks too
Hopeful for a bite
--------------------------------
Ankles deep sand dunes
at Nag's Head where flight seemed real
we settled for kites
---------------------------------
My window fan sucked
in the hot sticky night air
my sheets a ghost, ah!
---------------------------------
I light a candle
Speak to the flame like it's you
cry, pray, it's not real
